Thanks,
 I also ran across this
https://www.mirbsd.org/htman/i386/man3/sha2.htm
which has an example that works with minor tweaks


EXAMPLES


     The following code fragment will calculate the SHA-256 digest for
the string "abc", which is

"0xba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad".

           SHA256_CTX ctx;
           u_int8_t results[SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
           char *buf;
           int n;

           buf = "abc";
           n = strlen(buf);
           SHA256_Init(&ctx);
           SHA256_Update(&ctx, (u_int8_t *)buf, n);
           SHA256_Final(results, &ctx);

           /* Print the digest as one long hex value */
           printf("0x");
           for (n = 0; n < SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; n++)
                   printf("%02x", results[n]);
           putchar('\n');
